Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A pipe has a diameter of 0.1 m and carries water at a speed of 2 m/s. Calculate the volumetric flow rate and find the force exerted on a valve which stops the flow.
💡 Hint: Consider how you relate momentum changes with forces acting at outlets.
A jet of water strikes a flat plate at a speed of 10 m/s and has a cross-sectional area of 0.01 m². Calculate the force exerted when it hits the plate.
💡 Hint: Use the relationship between flow rate and forces acting.
